"You don't need to be dying for your LS swap." - Car Wizard

I'm still gonna LS swap the hell out of my 64 El Camino. Don't let this guy shoot down your dream swap JUST SEND IT !!!!!!!

I swapped my first ls back in 1997 and since then I have done hundreds of them. A ls engine requires 58 psi of fuel pressure, you do not need a return line, gm switched to returnless fuel systems in the 2004 model year. You absolutely do not need a inertia switch, gm does not use one and the way they deal with rollover incidents is with the ecu cutting fuel flow when there is a loss of fuel pressure. I have seen plenty of stupid people complete ls swaps and the people I am talking about are really stupid. You can purchase stand alone harnesses for $250 that work really well and there is plenty of people like me who program ecu's. The most common oem ecu's used in swaps are p01 and p59 ecu's. You can use a 58x motor on the older ecu's with a lingenfelter converter box. The p01 and p59 ecu's are 24x only so a converter is required if you want to use a 58x engine. There is actually 2 companies making ls swap mounts for the lamborghini Gallardo. With a stand alone harness you only need to hook up around 6 wires to make run. Ac is not a problem in any way with all of the aftermarket solutions. I can ls swap many vehicles in one day very easily.

"Surrounded by Hoovie disasters". 😂😂😂 The Wizard has an awesome deadpan delivery. You need to do stand up comedy.

Married couples used to LS swap using a fishbowl filled with car keys back in the day :P

After having done two ls swaps, you are 100% correct Car Wizard. But having a reliable fuel efficient drivetrain in an older vehicle is priceless! Thanks for the video!

Love how you and your wife work as a team! Adds a totally separate dynamic to the videos.

Wizard: LS swaps are hard! Me: don't threaten me with a good time, Wizard!

love you Carwizard, you and your family are a gem!

in my opinion easiest LS swap is 1990s Chevy pickup truck almost everything matches you do have to relocate the AC compressor on top

The easiest way to do an LS swap is to purchase a donor vehicle that is a similar configuration to what you want to swap and strip everything from it ( complete wiring harness including electric windows aircon fuel tank computers the works) . Even if you are going to upgrade everything having the original will help.

I ls swapped two of my favorite things 1931 five window and my 55 belair THE best! Thing I did and didn't cost a fortune thanks to The driveway engineer!

I wonder how many engine swaps NEVER get completed. must be quite a few.

Keep dropping all that sweet sweet knowledge car wizard 🧙‍♂️

As I see it LS swaps (or any JDM engine swaps like 2JZ and RB26) are usually either only a "meme and dream" or "fun as a project when its actually executed properly".

I'm thinking of LS swapping my toilet.

Nice video it's refreshing to see someone actually explain in plain language the reasons why to or not.

Hey Wizard thank you, when it's time to land people feet to the ground you are the man, many people think they can do everything but with modern engines it's a world of hurt If you don't have the Tools, now everything it's code matched, and planned to fit on a specific plattaform, it's not Impossible but hell to adapt and make it work properly, greetings from puebla city, Mexico I'm your fan #1 around, respect !
